This is the GRUB2 background image of the Debian GNU/Linux theme.
Intended locations in filesystem:
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub-widescreen.png
Intended locations in desktop-base source package:
/grub/journey-grub.png
/grub/journey-grub-widescreen.png
HOW TO SET THE GRUB BACKGROUND:
-------------------------------
USING ALTERNATIVES
The wallpaper is set using the "alternative" mechanism. If you want to switch to the widescreen version or to another theme included in Debian:
sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-grub
The settings for the alternatives are installed by the postinst script of the desktop-base deb package.
The alternatives settings for the splash screens are saved in
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/desktop-grub
MANUALLY
If you want to set a different picture:
- Become root
- Edit the symlink /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
to point to the intended grub-background, for instance:
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
- Run update-grub
--------------------
Exact Configuration:
--------------------
The Grub 2 wallpaper is configured in:
/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh
which points to:
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
that symlinks to our background picture, for instance:
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
